The Revenge of the Shadow King by J.S. Lewis, Derek Benz
4.0
The Revenge of the Shadow King is an exciting middle-grade fantasy adventure that will appeal to those enjoying their fantasy with a little history and magic! This is the first in the Grey Griffins Trilogy, which combines mythology and folklore into the world of here and now. It follows the Grey Griffins, four kids in a small town who have made their own secret society and play a card game full of monsters and other creatures. Max, Harley, Natalia, and Ernie begin to notice the strange appearance of those same creatures around their town. As trouble continues to brew and it becomes clear that there is more going on than what seems, will they be able to save not only their town but possibly the world?
I have had this book for years! I loved the series as a kid and continue to love it as a young adult reader! It is exciting, full of magic, adventure, and friendship. I love the mix of magical creatures and the real world. It is so exciting and I love the characters! It is always so fun to read about friends who are despite their differences connected through a shared interest. As always, the characters are some of my favorite part. From Logan, to Iver, to Max's Grandma Calibrun, the characters make the book so much more fun!
This is for any young fantasy reader and especially for those who enjoy fantasy games! Also there are old English and European mythological elements in this book too, which is always exciting! I gave it to my younger brother, who is much more interested in sports and active things and he enjoyed it! He rarely reads series, but he finished the entire series and even the next one!
